We’re over the moon to share some wonderful news with you all: thanks to new funding from our generous supporters The Women's Fund and Community Foundations for Merseyside, Beautiful New Beginnings is expanding our baby massage classes once again! This means more parents and carers in the local community will be able to discover the gentle power of touch and reap all the amazing benefits of infant massage - in a supportive, expert-led environment.
Why We’re Celebrating
When we first launched our baby massage courses, we saw firsthand the joy that comes from watching a tiny hand relax into your own. Over the past few years, hundreds of families have told us how these sessions helped them: babies slept longer, colic eased, and parents felt more confident in their nurturing skills. Now, with this new influx of funding, we can:
All of this means more opportunities for you to bond, soothe, and support your baby’s wellbeing.
The Incredible Benefits of Baby Massage
In case you need a reminder of why baby massage is one of the best gifts you can give your little one, here are some of the key benefits that our parents consistently rave about:
Stronger Parent–Baby Bonding Every stroke releases oxytocin (the “love hormone”) in both of you, deepening emotional connection and trust.
Improved Sleep Patterns Gentle, rhythmic massage helps regulate your baby’s sleep-wake cycle, often leading to longer naps and more restful nights.
Relief from Colic and Gas Specific tummy techniques and leg strokes encourage healthy digestion, easing discomfort from wind or colic.
Enhanced Motor Development Tactile stimulation supports neurological growth-helping babies learn about their bodies and develop coordination.
Boosted Immune Function Massage encourages lymphatic circulation, which can support your baby’s natural defenses.
Reduced Parental Anxiety Learning a practical skill you can use at home builds confidence and gives you a sense of control when soothing a fussy baby.
Parent Testimonial: “After just two sessions, our little Leo relaxed into every stroke. Now we have a lovely massage routine before bedtime—he’s sleeping so much better, and I feel like I really ‘get’ him.” — Sarah, mum of Leo
BNB's Classes
With our additional funding, here’s what you can expect from Beautiful New Beginnings’ baby massage classes...
These sessions are completely child led, so please feel free to feed throughout, to take everything at your child's pace and to build up over the 6 weeks to the full body massage.
This course lasts 6 weeks - the course you select indicates your start date and sessions will run for 6 weeks from that start date at the same time and location each week.
Please bring a blanket and a small towel, everything else will be provided!
Following the class you're welcome to stay to coffee afternoon where free tea, coffee and refreshments will be provided and you can chat to other parents in your community!
This course is completely free to attend due to funding from The Women's Fund and Community Foundations for Merseyside.
We can't wait to be back on 4th June 2025, 12:30 – 14:00 at St Mary's Millennium Centre, Meadow Lane, Liverpool L12 5EA, UK, for this 6 week baby massage course, which runs every Wednesday.
